Starkey & Mueller

Poni has found the most accurate NFL mock draft on average. Somehow it is some sports writer in the middle of Pennsylvania. But what are some of the experts saying the Steelers will do Thursday night? NFL Draft analyst Ryan Wilson from CBS Sports joined the show. Ryan has altered his Steelers selection ahead of Thursday night – Monroe Freeling, who has an oddly similar resume to Broderick Jones. Ryan doesn’t think TE is a position to avoid this weekend. Ryan gets the feeling that the Steelers are interested in a QB in the middle rounds of the draft instead of Ty Simpson on Thursday. Ryan threw out some other tackle names to keep in their notes for 21. Is Spencer Fano someone to consider? Ryan doesn’t believe Carnell Tate is bound to be a team’s true WR1, but he loves Germie Bernard as someone to take a chance on. Is there any prayer Makai Lemon makes it to the Steelers? Ryan thinks Jermod McCoy falls out of the 1st round due to knee issues. Ryan loves that there is so much mystery going into the draft and h

McCarthy’s Mouthfuls – What did Mike McCarthy say to the media earlier today? Audibles & Analytics and Yinz Know Ball podcast host Jon Ledyard joined the show. Jon said the best-case scenario for the Steelers at 21 would be Vega Ioane to help finish up the offensive line. Jon thinks there is ‘minimal difference’ between pick 10 and pick 30, in terms of prospect rank. He loves the middle portion of this draft, so it’s nice that the Steelers have a lot of picks to use. Jon said Spencer Fano is a player he is starting to zone in on as a Steelers option on Thursday night. Is there a chance we see a run on tackles in the 1st round that could muddy the Steelers’ waters? Jon doesn’t love Denzel Boston as a separator, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be a good NFL WR. The guys asked Jon about the second day receivers that could develop into WR1 on a given team. Jon told people to have the name Jacob Rodriguez on their mind at 21 if the Steelers don’t like what they have in their LB room. Bucco Minute – The Pira

Flyers beat the Penguins 3-0 last night at PPG Paints Arena to take a 2-0 series lead with the games going back to Philadelphia. Are the Penguins finished? Who is to blame? Poni thinks it’s a hard conversation to have, but people have to throw some blame on Sidney Crosby for how things have gone in the first two games. How much goes on Dan Muse? The Flyers are punking the Penguins so far. What is the Penguins biggest issue in the first 2 games of the series so far? PM Team Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. How did Mike Vrabel handle his press conference earlier today? Is the Penguins series with the Flyers already over? Has Sidney Crosby been the biggest issue? Rob thinks the Pirates will be in first place by the middle of July and never look back. He also believes Mike Tomlin will be ‘great’ on TV following his move to NBC.

Eric Edholm from NFL dot com joined the show. What will the board look like for the Steelers at 21? Eric thinks KC Concepcion is a name to keep in mind. Eric suggested that we could see 10 offensive linemen go in the 1st round. Is there a path for Vega Ioane to make it to 21? Is Monroe Freeling worthy of a 1st round pick? Eric made a point about Germie Bernard as a WR option on the second night of the draft. Eric said Kenyon Sadiq is a great player that can be used more as a weapon than anything, but his blocking ability is underrated. Eric labeled this as a deep year for defensive backs.

The Pirates will see Andrew McCutchen tonight as the Buccos take on the Rangers. After the slow start for Marcell Ozuna, some fans made it known they were upset about seeing Cutch go. How’s that aging in the last week or so? Are some fans going to want the Pirates to win, but Cutch to have a big game?

Omar Khan doesn’t want to show his hand before the NFL Draft, which begins Thursday. Oh, by the way, we are still waiting on Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers are yet again paying it coy for a 42-year-old QB. The guys don’t understand why the organization is laying down for him again. The front office also had rave reviews for Makai Lemon, a WR prospect that could end up in Pittsburgh as of Thursday night. Is it a foregone conclusion that Vega Ioane is bound for Baltimore? Former Pitt WR and current CFB analyst Yogi Roth joined the show. The best WR Yogi watched in 2025 isn’t draft eligible, but Ohio State has built a factory for that position. Yogi thinks Carnell Tate will be the first WR off the board. Yogi called Omar Cooper Jr. a ‘fun guy to watch,’ as he has risen up draft boards everywhere. Yogi had nothing but good things to say about Makai Lemon and raved about his growth as a player. Yogi pointed out some key plays he watched from Denzel Boston in 2025. Who is the best route runner of this group? Yogi ha

Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports said that the Steelers will make and receive calls on Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig before the draft on Thursday night. Poni thinks that Art Rooney does not want to trade Alex Highsmith, and that it is more likely that Herbig is the one that gets traded. Adam Schefter thinks that the Eagles might trade for Alex Highsmith, or at least try to. Donny Football Debrief – There is a pending AJ Brown trade that would send the WR to the Patriots, but can’t be made official until June 1st. And Dexter Lawrence was sent to the Bengals over the weekend.

Adam Schefter said today that Broderick Jones had a setback regarding his neck injury today. Poni thinks that the Steelers should draft a tackle at 21, given the uncertainty surrounding Broderick’s status. Considering Aaron Rodgers as the likely starting QB for the Steelers, a bad offensive line could be a major issue. Callers chime in on the draft on Thursday. Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt thinks that a lot of the games that the Pirates have lost this year, they could have won them. He sees this as a good sign and thinks the Pirates are in a good spot. Clement thinks that the run support that both Keller and Skenes are getting this year has helped them both mentally. He also thinks that the Pirates biggest need is bullpen help, which a lot of people have been talking about so far this year.

The waiting game on Aaron Rodgers will continue with the Steelers as we enter the week of the NFL Draft. The 22-year vet has yet to give the team an answer, even though he is reportedly in ‘regular communication’ with Mike McCarthy. The guys are tired and don’t want this to continue. Do you? The feeling is that the team should move on here. Are fans tired of waiting on Aaron Rodgers? Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. The Penguins admitted that the Flyers took them out of their game on Saturday night, as Philly took a 1-0 series lead. TK explained what the Pens have to do tonight to even things up. Justin Brazeau was the odd-man-out in Game 1 and Tyler isn’t sure if he sneaks back into the lineup. TK suggested sitting Ben Kindel if you want Brazeau back in there. TK predicted a 4-0 Penguins victory tonight.
